Kouper Health

Kouper Health coordinates patient communication across access, hospital stays and follow-up care. Primus handles inbound requests such as scheduling, intake and prescription refills. Archie follows inpatient progress and home health handoffs, including episode risk and escalation. Cura runs outbound reminders, check-ins, education and recovery follow-up.

The agents share patient context so care teams can connect conversations to the next task instead of treating every contact as a separate event. Voice and text channels support outreach, and concerns requiring a person can enter existing staff workflows. The suite serves hospitals, provider groups and organizations managing care across multiple settings, with named partners including Lifepoint Health and Mosaic.

Capability Axes

An AI Health Index grade measures what a buyer can verify from public sources on the date shown. It is not a rating of how good the product is. A vendor can build an excellent system and grade low on an axis because it publishes nothing an outsider can check. How grades read

AI Capability
BB on AI CentralityThe model is the engine of a core module. The platform carries other value, but this capability does not exist without it.
Vendor Published

Conversational AI drives inbound requests and outbound patient outreach across the Primus, Archie and Cura agents. The platform also maintains shared patient context and coordination workflows, providing value beyond automated conversations.

BB on Autonomy and Oversight ModelThe oversight structure is described and one part is missing, commonly the threshold at which the system stops or what happens after it is wrong.
Vendor Published

Teams agree before launch on the tasks in scope and who receives escalations through their existing EHR. Agent actions are logged. Numerical escalation thresholds, overrides and recovery procedures after an incorrect action remain unspecified.

CC on Model and Technology TransparencyThe architecture is described in general terms with nothing identified. Proprietary is asserted rather than explained.
Vendor Published

Generative AI supports voice and text interactions using shared patient context across workflows. The available architecture does not identify production models, suppliers, training datasets, model versions or how changes are evaluated before release.

CC on Model Supply Chain DisclosureThe architecture is described and no model provider is named. Naming a hosting provider alone does not lift a record out of this band. Record the host in the note, because it matters for residency and breach scope, and grade on the model layer, which is the question this axis is named for.
Vendor Published

The privacy policy identifies categories including AI, messaging, hosting and analytics providers without naming them. It does not map patient data to particular model processors or specify those processors' retention and training terms.

CC on Clinical and Operational EvidenceNamed customers, or vendor reported percentages with no method, denominator or reference standard. Scale of use is recorded here and is not treated as evidence of benefit.
Vendor Published

Named partners include Lifepoint, Mosaic and Ascension Saint Thomas. Reported gains exceed 50% for engagement and 60% for follow-up appointments, but lack patient denominators, measurement periods and a comparison method linking results to a specific deployment.

CC on AI Safety and PHI StewardshipGeneral assurances of privacy and security that do not answer the questions artificial intelligence raises: what is retained, what reaches a model, and what happens to it there.
Vendor Published

Patient conversations can contain protected information under partner agreements. Model training use, retention windows and patient data deidentification rules remain unspecified. The policy's general development section concerns partner representatives and website visitors; it does not settle patient data treatment.

Regulatory and Compliance
BB on HIPAA and BAA PostureBusiness associate status is stated and supported by a substantive privacy document, with the agreement or its scope not fully published. For a vendor outside the United States, an equivalent regime documented to this depth grades here. A vendor whose product does not process protected health information grades here too when it says so plainly and explains the scope, with a service privacy document behind it: stating a position a buyer can rely on is the posture this axis grades, and the band above is closed to it because there is no agreement to publish.
Vendor Published

Kouper acts as a HIPAA business associate for patient communications. Its service privacy policy covers diagnoses, care requirements, scheduling and message content. The BAA itself, contract tier and subcontractor provisions are not available to inspect.

DD on Security Certifications and Trust CenterControls are asserted with nothing independent behind them, or nothing is published. Read the note before concluding anything: this is the grade most often corrected on a second pass, because assurance material frequently sits on a parent domain or inside an old announcement rather than on the product pages.
Vendor Published

The current security FAQ describes access controls, secure handling and auditability. It does not establish an independently checked security program, a current certification scope or a retrievable vendor audit artifact.

CC on FDA and Regulatory StatusNo device claim is made and the product is scoped accordingly. Most administrative and operational products sit here and are not penalized for it, because this axis grades the appropriateness of the positioning rather than possession of a clearance.
Vendor Published

The text service arranges care and follow-up rather than providing medical advice or treatment. Licensed providers retain the clinical relationship. Risk tracking supports navigation, without establishing a cleared diagnostic or treatment function.

CC on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureResponsible artificial intelligence is committed to in policy language with no evaluation behind it. Most of the index sits here.
Vendor Published

A safety framework and action logging support oversight, while deployment planning defines ownership and call scope. A formal evaluation protocol, subgroup performance and independent audit of model behavior remain unspecified.

CC on AI Liability and RecourseMechanisms exist that let someone challenge an output, such as audit trails, source traceability or review before commit, with nothing standing behind the output and no route for the harmed party.
Vendor Published

Action logs make agent activity traceable for care teams. Consumer text service terms disclaim warranties and limit liability. An output correction obligation, accuracy guarantee or compensation route tied to agent mistakes is unspecified.

Integration and Deployment
CC on EHR and Interoperability DepthIntegration is claimed through standards or a middleware layer with no system named and nothing to verify.
Vendor Published

The integration FAQ describes native connections to hospital and ambulatory EHRs, and escalation tasks can enter existing staff workflows. Named systems, supported standards, read and write boundaries and implementation details remain unspecified.

DD on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyNothing published about where the system runs or where the data rests.
Vendor Published

Patients interact through calls and text messages connected to provider workflows. Hosting providers, deployment options, data storage regions, tenant isolation and cross border processing are unspecified, leaving the infrastructure arrangement unclear.

Commercial
DD on Commercial TransparencyNothing a buyer can establish before a sales conversation. A published pricing claim contradicted by evidence also grades here.
Vendor Published

Commercial access begins with a tailored demonstration. Subscription rates, charging units, minimum commitments and implementation amounts are unspecified. Patient messaging carrier charges in the consumer terms do not establish the organization's platform cost.

BB on Setting and Specialty CoverageCoverage is named with validation behind part of it.
Vendor Published

Named hospital partners support transitions from inpatient and emergency care into follow-up. The broader specialty range includes primary care, oncology, pediatrics and dentistry, without equivalent validation for every specialty and agent workflow.
